| - When the first draft I tried to order was out, they immediately lost a star. It looks like they have a lot of taps but the selection isn't the best. There is a wall of coolers, though, so I eventually made my way over there for a few bottles. We also ordered food, I had a turkey wrap and my friend a burger. Food was average, not bad but not something I'd go back for. I did kind of like the U-shaped bar surrounded by tables. I was not a fan of the front wall of windows.
I had no complaints about the service however the menu cover is pictures of, I can only guess, their favorite patrons and pretty servers. It didn't seem to go at all with the rest of the atmosphere, at least when I was there. I can see it being a cool place to watch a game, but I don't really get that friendly neighborhood bar feel.
It's difficult to decide between 2 and 3 stars. I mean, for the 2, yeah, I've experienced better and I don't think I'll go back. But the 3 is A-OK. I'm stuck in the middle but will post this review with 3 only because other than being out of my first draft choice, I did not have any other major complaints. Pittsburgh Bottleshop needs to decide if it wants to be more upscale with better beer selections and menu entrees or more of a sports bar where it's okay to have Miller Lite on tap and lots of fried appetizer specials during Steelers games. Right now it's somewhere in the middle, kind of like my rating.
